No gapless playback of MP3 files #369

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Rip a CD where there is no pause in sound between tracks to FLAC

  1. Convert FLAC files to MP3 using LAME
  2. Test playback of two sequential tracks, using both FLAC and MP3 files What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect both file types to be played back without gaps between tracks. The FLAC files are played back correctly, but the MP3 files get a short yet audible pause inserted between tracks. The same MP3s are played back gaplessly in iTunes. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Tested on Clementine versions 0.3.0, 0.3.1 and 0.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.3

Update: I've tested 0.4, 0.4.1, 0.4.2 and r1576 . Gapless for MP3s is still not working, despite the changelog for 0.4 stating "Gapless playback should now work all the time with all formats".

When it's fixed, we'll close the bug. It's only broken on OS X.

Alright, thanks for the clarification.

There is a problem with gapless playback of mp3 files on Ubunutu 10.04 as well. Tested on version 0.4.

This seems to be a problem on all platforms, as it also occurs on Windows 7. Tested with r1905 .

I can also confirm that gapless playback of MP3 files with version 0.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 does not work correctly. There is a sort of 'twitch' when switching tracks that should be gapless.

Gentoo, Clementine 0.6- r2 , gapless playback doesn't work.

Use 0.7.1.

Clementine-Issue-Importer commented 11 years ago

From marek.miszczukk on May 07, 2011 08:21:19

The problem is still present in 0.7.1. It seems to, however, concern mp3 files only - even though they are LAME-encoded (I've checked the same files on wine-run foobar2000 and they are played perfectly gaplessly). There is no problem with FLAC files. Tested on Ubuntu 10.10.

And what about latest dev version?

From joebentley10 on May 10, 2011 10:32:24

Problem prevalent for me on 0.7.1 with MP3 files. Haven't tested FLAC files. Tested on Ubuntu 11.4

Clementine-Issue-Importer commented 11 years ago

From marek.miszczukk on May 12, 2011 12:14:12

Unfortunately, same in the latest dev version - 0.7.1. r3258

Tried today with some FLAC files, no gapless playback on Clementine. With Audacious, it's perfect.

Forget to say, Arch Linux x86_64, using Clementine from the community repo.

From maxtor11111 on July 11, 2011 18:14:13

Arch Linux x86_64 too, Clementine from svn. After downgrading gstreamer0.10-good and gstreamer0.10-good-plugins to 0.10.28-1 gapless started to work.

Clementine-Issue-Importer commented 11 years ago

From sco50000 on July 27, 2011 19:51:13

I also see this bug on Arch Linux x86_64 with clementine checked out from git today. My gstreamer0.10-good and gstreamer0.10-good-plugins versions are 0.10.29.

Debian 6.0, Clementine 0.7.1 and I'm also having this problem :(

It seems this is a (pretty old) gstreamer bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701952

From spiro.multimax on December 22, 2011 18:41:47

gstreamer fixed this issue for FLAC -- confirmed by me in Clementine -- as of gst-plugins-good-0.10.30.2-2. But MP3 files are still not played gaplessly in Clementine.

This is similar to issue 2531 .

I'm not sure how this works for people in general these days, but gapless playback of mp3's still doesn't work for me in OS X.

From ville.aakko on October 21, 2012 13:03:25

Gapless playback does not work for me (I mostly use ogg). Should I file another bug report, is this only for MP3? This is on Linux (Gentoo).

From Rewarp on October 25, 2012 09:22:20

I don't get precise gapless playback working for Christopher Tin's Calling All Dawns album, either for mp3 of FLAC. Using Ubuntu 12.04.

no gapless playback on both FLAC and MP3, using 1.1 on Ubuntu 12.04

these files play fine gapless with aqualung

Gapless is broken in 1.1.1 too

foresto commented 10 years ago

I just tried Clementine 1.2.1 with the ALSA output plugin, and it fails to play gapless .flac files. Exaile does it just fine.

AudioArchitect-R commented 7 years ago

Clementine 1.3.1 still has the problem. Linux Mint 18 Sarah Cinnamon based on Ubuntu 16.04.

The reason it's a problem is because some artists sometimes create a suite of tracks, where one track blends into another, creating one long composition, instead of many smaller tracks.

This problem, that apparently no one knows how to fix, "Seriously" screws up those long suites of tracks. In this case Clementine ends up being a "Hack Job!"

Thank you for your consideration in this annoying interruptive problem.

mrdudz commented 7 years ago

same problem here (linux, 1.3.1) - baffles me that such a thing is broken for many years... when other players (like audacious) can do it just fine. :(

aMoniker commented 6 years ago

Just noticed this as well. It's still a problem. Versions: Clementine 1.3.1, OSX 10.13.3

mts19 commented 5 years ago

Still a problem using AV Linux, Clementine version 1.3.1 with mp3 gapless playback.

xim commented 5 years ago

+1 for noticeable gap between tracks from my mp3 collection. Not good.

profhccaesar commented 4 years ago

Still no gapless playback with newest release candidate 1.4.0rc1-296-g68d375c43.

Tested with provided binaries on

Same mp3 files play gapless with audacity (using pulseaudio).

NB: Tested some other formats than mp3:

Asday commented 4 years ago

Fails with FLACs on 1.2.3, Linux Mint 18.

I couldn't find a "gapless playback" setting, and if nobody had mentioned it I would have assumed it was default functionality. Why wouldn't anyone not want that?

WildPenquin commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I've noticed this bug has discussion about generic non-gapless playback of other formats, too, although this was originally reported for MP3 only. There is also a more generic bug report about gapless playback here: https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/issues/3933

I'm commenting here since I've noticed a workaround and want other user to know about it, too: try setting a smaller buffer (in clementine) or decrease the minimum value required for filling the buffer.

I also want to mention, that I can reproduce non-gapless playback on Ogg Vorbis and FLAC, and that the same files are played back gapless (to my ears) in case I set a smaller cache / minimum fill %. Searching to near the end of a file will introduce gaps at the next track change in any case, despite cache settings. I do not use MP3s (so: sorry for OT!).
